I helped facilitate a kitten adoption for Lori through some neighbors of mine. She named the kittens Suki and Jojo (a girl and a boy) and they're wicked cute.
Landon actually popped into the office at school one of the last few days of 9th grade to work on an assignment. I'm really going to miss him next year when he's at the high school.
Michelle brought me Cafe Rio for a car lunch during the 2nd to last week of school when I was hanging on by a very thin thread. I love car lunches!
My mom (and Randy, but he'd already left) came to watch Whitney in her final elementary school dance festival.
Adam, Amy and Lori came over for "game night" which consisted of a long, chatty dinner at JCWs and then a drive through visit to Culver's for custard.
The girls slept over and spent most of Saturday hanging out together in the front yard.
We went to the cemetery on Memorial Day and this was the best of our 3 attempts at a self-portrait.
We also went to see Iron Man 3 on Memorial Day. We all liked the movie, but I felt it was oppressively hot in the theater and therefore distracting.
Taking a cue from Michelle's Aunt Denise, I made a thank you card and had Whitney draw a picture and then left a Costco cake in the teacher's lounge at the Elementary School to thank them for 7 great years. I can't believe we won't be going to that school anymore, so sad!
Whitney graduated from 6th grade while posing as a 15 year old!
School finally ended and I'm not going back until the end of August!! I feel beyond victorious that I made it through another year in the front office. It is such a life-sucking, headache producing, strangely satisfying job, but man oh man do I need 3 months off to regroup so I can do it again...especially since Whitney will be there!
Max graduated from high school and will be starting BYU in the fall! I told Michelle I had to blog about this since she hasn't blogged in 5 months!
Amie's daughter Jessica turned 16 (what is happening, we're getting so old) and she invited me to join her for dinner while Jessica and her friends ate across the restaurant from us. Good times.
This picture doesn't do it justice, but Landon spent all day Saturday up at the University of Utah with the football team...apparently he forgot he has an Irish heritage and multiple relatives with skin cancer!
Today was our first official day of summer vacation and we got all kinds of stuff done. We cleared out the flower beds, amended the soil and planted flower seeds.
Woohoo, I love flowers!
This is how Whitney labeled her cup today, I found it funny.

Yay! Glad you are done with school. I wish we had a summer break at the big C.

Ps the cake in the teachers' lounge is a great idea.
It's fun to have a recap from you Jill.
I miss Michelle's blog.
I'm glad you are out of school.
The cake is a great idea.
The kittens are cute.
Some day I shall have to eat at JCW.
Your yard looks good.
Can't believe you're done with elementary school.
Glad you blogged.
WHAT??? Wasn't Max in, like, 4th grade when I started reading Michelle's blog? And what is happening with the leaps in age going on with your kids?? This is all too shocking after spending a weekend with friends of mine who hadn't seen K since he was ONE. Oh life.
Have a great summer!!!
I loved getting max's graduation announcement and wish Michelle still blogged.
I'm all for homemade cakes, but Costco cake is straight legit! They shall serve it at my wedding, or my funeral. Whichever comes first.
